## Technical details

Missing authorization check in the entry editor allows a weblog member with Limited role to modify entries they lack permission to edit. The vulnerability exists because the editor validates the member's role but does not verify that the role permits operations on the specific entry. The issue affects draft, pending, and published entries across versions 4.0 through 6.1.6.
